VIP on alert: the neurons that sound the alarm when danger strikes<\/strong><\/p>\n

To see the press release<\/a><\/p>\n

When faced with a threat, the brain must react quickly: flee, freeze, or defend itself. VIP neurons located in the medulla oblongata act as an internal alarm system. Published in Advanced Science, research using a visual looming test, simulating the approach of an aerial predator, has shown that VIP neurons detect danger and trigger flight. Understanding this \u201calert circuit\u201d could open up new perspectives for deciphering the mechanisms of non-motor disorders associated with neurodegenerative diseases.<\/p>\n
